Mom, Dad, I dropped a poop!

I've been thinking that potty training is NEVER going to happen with Andrew. He's only so-so at school and sometimes, at home, he has an absolute hissy fit when we suggest sitting on the potty.

So, tonight Andrew told me that he wanted to pee on the potty. I wasn't even going to let him because it's always a waste of time. But, he's gotta learn eventually so I let him. I don't even bother sitting in there anymore, I ran downstairs. Suddenly, Andrew yelled "Mom, Dad, I dropped a poop!" It was so funny. We both go running to find a tiny little turd in the toilet. That was exciting, but what was more exciting was how thrilled Andrew was. He stood up, pumped his fist in the air and said "yes". He had the hugest smile on his face. Then he had to give us "five". Then he gave us the double thumbs up. He was so excited. Of course, we then gave him ice cream. At almost 3 yrs. old, poop = ice cream. We'll do anything to get him trained. I just wish I had a picture of Andrew's face. I've never seen him so excited.

Andrew's on a roll...

He's absolutely killing me tonight. This kid is becoming a smart little man overnight.

First, we were out to buy dog food. Andrew was running ahead of us. He ran straight to the brand of dog food we buy, and pulled the bag out to put on the cart. How in the world the world did this kid remember what brand we buy? I think that's pretty impressive. Also, how did he move a 40 lb. bag??

Next, we were checking out at Home Depot in the self scan aisle. I scanned our stuff, bagged it, and paid. As I was loading our bags into the cart, I hear "beep". Andrew had grabbed a bag of M&Ms and scanned them. Mike & I noticed and told Andrew no, he couldn't have them. As we're looking at the screen trying to figure out how to cancel what he scanned, Andrew walked behind our backs and threw his M&M's into the bagging area. That kid is smart!! How could we not buy the M&Ms after that? Fortunately, Andrew forgot about the whole thing so Mommy scored some M&Ms :)

Lastly, tonight is garbage night. Mike went out the back door to take out trash and told Andrew to meet him out front. Andrew walks out the front door and yells, "Michael... Michael... Mike!" What happened to Daddy?? Andrew is such a little commedian.
